E-mail/information request forms
We recommend that when forwarding us an e-mail from this site make it for general purposes and do not include any confidential information or data that should only be shared on a secured site. If you wish to contact us directly about a confidential or sensitive matter please call us directly at 855.678.7226, by mail at P.O. Box 6630, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 or visit one of our banking offices.

Browser security
It is important to note that when you are linked through to our Online Banking site, that the Online Banking site is a fully secured site. To this end, Opus Bank requires the use of a secure browser with 128-bit encryption to access account information and perform transactions. Secure browsers employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology that encrypts - or scrambles - your account information so it's almost impossible for anyone other than the Bank to read.

Many browsers offer 128-bit encryption, but it is important to note that this encryption level is an optional feature. Since the 128-bit encryption is optional for some versions of browsers you should check for its encryption levels. You can check your security level with any browser by clicking on the Login button on the menu bar of the Online Banking site. If you get a message that says, "SSL 128 required" in the second line, your browser does not have a 128-bit encryption.

If your browser does not meet the 128-bit security level you may click on 128-bit to an automatic link to Microsoft for downloading their Internet Explorer. Remember that after downloading the proper software, you must install it on your device using the instructions appearing on your screen.

Passwords/time outs
Some browser software may store Access IDs and Passwords. For security reasons, you must disable this feature. If you do not disable this feature, others may be able to access your account without your knowledge or authorization.

In order to access our Online Banking, a user must enter a unique Access ID and Password. After "accepting", you will be notified of your unique Access ID and Password. Our system allows three (3) invalid sign-on attempts before locking out the user from further attempts, requiring the bank to reset your password. If you need to reset your password, please call 855.678.7226 during regular banking hours Monday through Friday. Specific information will be required from you before your password is reset.

To further protect your account information, our Online Banking has a built in timer that will terminate your session after a period of not actively using the system.

Linked Site
If we offer linked sites, it is important to remember that these sites are not guaranteed to be secure.

Network security
Opus Bank utilizes a combination of various security software and hardware designed to filter and protect against unauthorized data retrieval, improper Internet traffic, and to protect the bank's servers.
